{{ | {{警告 | 1=當您編輯一些翻譯過的頁面時，您會看到一些區段的標記，像是 <nowoki><!--T:1--></nowiki> 之類的。通常來說每一段就是一個區段。您不應該變更這些標記，除非您是要整個區段刪除，而通常要刪除的話最好也是將舊標記刪除即可。加入新區段時，您不需要新增該區段的標記 -- 標記會在您加入的區段被認可可以開始翻譯時自動加入。如果您要移動一個區段，就需要將區段標記一起移動。這是您唯一需要去動到標記的狀況 -- 然後系統會接手做剩下的事。}} | ||

General guidelines
- Expressions, jargon, and humor
- As you translate, you may encounter expressions, puns, or jargon that are specific to the original language and may be difficult to translate effectively.
- In such cases, translate the concept or point the article is trying to convey and not the exact words. : Take care to ensure you capture the overall message, and don't worry about losing the humor or the colloquialism.
- Proper names
- Company names and product names should never be translated. Proper company names and product names should always remain in English, no matter what language you are translating for.
- People's names should remain in English for Latin-based languages, but you may transliterate them for non-Latinbased alphabets.
- Terminology
- For help with translating tricky constructions or technical terms, consult the translation-sharing site to: TAUS.
- Simply enter your desired text and then choose which language to translate it from and to. Not all terms are included for all languages, but this can be a helpful tool for completing accurate translations.
- Titles of works
- When you run across the title of a book, program, feature, distro, or other public work, check to see if that title has already been officially translated for your language (by the publisher or distributor), and if so, use that translation.
- If you cannot find a translation for that particular title in your language, do your best to translate it as accurately as possible.
- Units of measure
- Convert units of measure to make them relevant for the intended language or region.
- User interface terms
- Translate user interface terms as appropriate for your language.

Guidelines specific to a Language
UserBase proposes to have Team Leaders for each language. Techbase may, at a later date, do the same. As we get leaders appointed, they will take charge of a page of guidelines for their specific language, where they will be named. They will have final say on any question relating to their language. The guidelines will be linked from Language-specific guideline pages.
Keeping up to date with development
I propose that the Discussion page attached to this page should be used for orderly debate about general issues noted, particularly issues where existing markup is causing problems. I would ask you to put a Watch on Talk:Translation_Workflow.
Getting a Better Understanding of the Process
